TEXT

1. GC: You will give an aura chart of the entity [2378], present in this room, indicating the symbols, colors, and the meaning of each, that they may be made into a drawing that would be of help to the entity.
2. EC: Yes.
3. In giving the interpretations of an aura chart, it is well that all consider the value or the purposes of same as may be applied in the experience of an entity.
4. That there have been activities of an entity through varied appearances in the earth is acceptable to many.
5. That there are factors of various natures that wield an influence in the experience of EVERY entity is conceded and accepted as a fact.
6. That there are urges which arise from astrological aspects is felt and indicated in the experiences of many.
7. That these may be combined in such a way and manner as to prove a helpful experience for an entity is being indicated in the various experiences of those for whom such have been given.
8. In analyzing such a drawing from such charts, much as to the beauty of same - as we have indicated - depends upon the artist.
9. That there is the attempt to minimize the faults and magnify the virtues should be the policy, the experience not only of the artist but from those influences that would indicate to an entity symbols or figures as might give the concept of the entity's experiences through varied sojourns in the earth.
10. For this entity we find, as we have indicated, the experiences in the earth have been quite varied. Hence we may find some unusual characteristics indicated in the symbols. Some quite varying affects may be created by the artist's concept of that as may represent this entity's experiences.
11. Hence (for the entity's interpretation of same), let that as becomes a visualization of same ever be towards the more helpful, the more hopeful or the spiritual interpretation of the characters and symbols as may be here indicated.
12. In the preparation of same, then:
13. Begin with a central figure - this in the lower center, but (with some foreground as well as some background) with a pyramid in the distance. Make same - the central figure - of that called the mystery of mysteries, - the Sphinx, with the paws extended and showing in same.
14. The colors here would not be brown, not terra cotta, but between the shades of same; indicating the characters, or characteristic for the entity through the experience.
15. Upon the right side of same would be the symbol of Venus, in white with green edges; and about same would be the figure or symbol representing Gemini - this at least six figures about this symbol.
16. Upon the left would be the figure indicating Mercury, and about same six figures as of Pisces. DO NOT have these cross, but bended toward one another. This would be in pink, with the figures about same gray. This indicates those first experiences of the entity in the land of mystery, in the land of search for those expressions as found both in the material aspects of man's experience and the spiritual as may find expression in a physical or material experience.
17. Above this central figure put that to represent the expressions of attainment by the entity, in the stringed instrument of that period, - the lyre, or harp lyre.
18. And upon each side, in smaller figures, to the right and to the left, put the figure that would today be called the Irish harp. Each of these on the outer edges would be golden, while in the center it would be coral pink edged with gold.
19. The figure above this would express the attainment experienced in the entity's Palestine sojourn, - represented by the rainbow of hope, and this in the seven colors of same. This would not extend entirely across the whole drawing, but would leave sufficient space for a small figure or symbol on each side of the moon - these made facing one another; in silver; indicating the manner in which the entity applied or attained in that experience. At the center portion of the rainbow, on the rainbow put the words LOVE - FAITH - HOPE; in that order; these in very black letters, though not large.
20. The figure above this would be the helmet, or the crown, with the three feathers of royalty in same; blue, white and red. These would be rather long in their plumage, bending over the crown or the helmet, of course. These would be very brilliant in their color; thus china white, also blue, and the very brilliant red.
21. Upon the right side of same indicate the character or symbol of Mars. This also would be in red, but not NEAR so red as the plume.
22. Upon the left side indicate the symbol for Neptune, - this in black, yet not so black as to be ebon, but black; indicating the madness and yet the disgust, and the needs for cleansing.
23. From the figure of the rainbow and the moon upon each side, to the bottom, put a narrow ribbon. This is not to encase the bow but is to be ended OPPOSITE the moon figures in a V-shape upon the end; the bow in the center below the figure there. All of this is to be in light blue, indicating for the entity the background, or that which has been encompassed by the entity in its periods of material manifestation through the spiritual, mental and physical evolution.
24. As to the figures indicating that to which the entity is to attain:
25. At the top place the cross, with three figures kneeling, one upon each side - but some foreground between the figures and the cross itself. This would not be slender but heavy, with white and gold forming the cross.
26. About the cross, extending to the areas even above the moon, begin with stars - these all golden; those in the lower portion larger and these reaching to the golden and white cloud above the cross; at least some sixteen stars to form the attainments to which the entity may come. Thy help, thy strength, thy faith, thy hope, thy love - all found in attainments that are as the stars in the cross. These stars may be in thine OWN crown.
27. We are through for the present.
